The EOS R5 Mark II is a worthy successor to the incredibly versatile EOS R5 bringing a host of new features that make this the most powerful EOS 5 series camera ever. It starts with a brand-new 45MP sensor that is back illuminated and stacked for blazingly fast read-out speeds that allow for a 30 fps electronic shutter, then builds on that with major focus improvements, increased video capabilities, and so much more.

Completely NEW Canon designed full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS 45MP sensor.
Fast sensor read-out speeds allow for up to 30 fps electronic shutter performance.
New focus system upgrades include eye control focus, and the ability to maintain focus on a subject even when obscured briefly.
Capture video and stills simultaneously with no interruption.
Action Priority uses data to interpret the scene and predict the main subject to lock focus on it in action scenarios.
People Priority Shooting for registering up to 10 people the camera can recognize and prioritze focus of.
Capture 8K RAW at 59.94/50.00 fps, and can Canon LOG 2.
Features the same 0.5-inch 5.76 million dot OLED EVF found in the EOS R3.
Video Menus now use Cinema EOS terminology.
Three optional battery grips are available to expand your capabilities.

I'm so excited about its capabilities!

Now that embargo is over and in the spirit of one moderate frustration with most current Canon bodies, I think one of the things worth testing with the new stacked BSI sensor is how it performs with various M-Mount lenses. It will be interesting to see if the colored vignetting and detail smearing are improved or gone all together.

Wow. $4200 for a camera with a slower read out speed than a Z8? Any word on zebras? RAW pre-capture?

I’ll start by saying the current R5 is incredible, and this mkii is better in just about every way.

However, I am a little bit let down. That readout speed is OG A9 level, but in 2024. Feels a little like Canon phoned this one in IMO.

****EDIT*****. DPReview is incorrect in their spec list....all other sources I've found say it is RAW pre-capture as low as 0.5s (would be better to get less time as 0.5s is overkill...0.3s is ideal for birds). It also isn't using the container file, just saving normally!!! Only downside is we dont' know if it is only activated by a menu dive or could be assigned to a toggle on/off on a custom key.

DPReview says precapture is jpeg only. No word on zebras....I'd say 99.9% they don't have them.

If you are in love with Canon ecosystem for whatever reason then the stacked sensor alone is a reason to upgrade (even if it is only 1/160 (6.3ms). But this camera is not what one would expect from a 5yr refresh in 2024.

Pretty much par for the course with Canon. I am not even surprised by the 4300 price tag.

From DPReview:

"So, in addition to the camera's 8K and internal Raw capabilities, the R5 II also becomes the first camera in the main EOS line to gain waveforms, a false color display as well as zebras, to make it easier to optimize exposure. It also has a tally lamp, to the let person in front of the camera know when it's recording."

It's in-line with inflation, unfortunately.

At the speeds we're talking about now, the differences are meaningless to probably 99.9% of the users out there. The huge thing you're missing, that DOES mean a lot to ALL users, is the R5II has a vastly superior AF system to the Z8 and even Z9.
That alone, coupled with the fast sensor, is a massive upgrade from the already outstanding R5.

The one thing I'm a little bummed about with this R5II is that they didn't give it the same revolutionary cross-type AF as they have developed for the R1. That's a huge advancement and one that all mirrorless bodies from all manufactures have struggled to overcome. Canon finally did it!

I'm pretty sure I heard them say the pre-capture is RAW.

Olympus did it ages ago. I guess Canon will do it in a camera aimed at bird photographers in 2029??

And Sony will follow in 2032.

In line with inflation, eh? I guess Nikon never got that memo.

I'd say Canon did great considering inflation and adding a stacked sensor with all the AF goodies.

It’s not about inflation, it’s about value versus the competition.

Perhaps it might be meaningless to some, though your second point about AF is less important. The existing R5 has a really good AF system and I daresay it already exceeds the Z8/Z9 in some respects. While improving the already excellent AF is laudable, maximizing sensor speed and preserving DR are key. The continued lack of zebras and RAW pre-capture are big drawbacks and while the R5II appears to be a significant improvement, it's not the camera I was hoping for.

To make the claim the AF system of the R5ii is vastly superior than the Z9/Z8 is a stretch.

Well we don't actually know how inflation impacted Canon here. But the R5 has a a couple of worthy competitors and they are both about $1K less. I'm locked into Canon at this point and have a R5II on order, but whether it's $1K better than it's competition, we'll see. (Not being negative -- excited to get my hands on the R5 II, just being honest -- it's no bargain).

This would be the direction I'd go in - but I am quite satisfied with my R5 already.

Oddly, due to the pixel density ("reach"), I tend to use my R7 more even though the sensor is not quite as clean as the full frame. Why? Because you can never have enough reach to frame small birds and such.
